Do Good-lt Pays. A Chicago man has observed that, "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds—some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appreciate a kind word and encouragement more tban substantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: “My good friend, cheer up, A few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your sold, and there s no danger whatever from pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me out many a time," Sold by A, F. Long, druggist. Do you want to save money? If so, buy your fall and winter Hats of Mrs. Hershman; strictly up to date.
